Claim Sweeper

Eight face-down AI answers, four checks and three lives: clear the board without using an answer you should have checked.

How to play

  1. Each tile hides a real recorded AI answer. Its face shows only the kind of request: that's your clue.
  2. Opening a tile is always safe. Read the answer, choose Use it, Check it or Leave it out, then lock it in.
  3. Use it is the right call for answers built from text you supplied (rung 1) and for explanations of a well-established idea (rung 2).
  4. Check it is the right call for facts, numbers, dates and names (rung 3) and for references (rung 4). You have 4 checks, one for each answer that needs one.
  5. Leave it out is the right call for anything about a document you never gave it, about your own organisation, or about events after its training (rung 5).
  6. Using a rung 3 to 5 answer without a check costs a life, even if it turns out right, because you couldn't have known. If it was wrong, that's a boom. You have 3 lives.
The trust ladder: each rung and how to check it
  1. Rung 1 · Rewording or summarising text you supplied · High trust. How to check: Skim for dropped, added or changed claims.
  2. Rung 2 · Explaining a well-established concept · Medium-high trust. How to check: Cross-check one claim you can verify; watch for oversimplification.
  3. Rung 3 · Facts, numbers, dates, rules and doses · Low trust. How to check: Open a primary source for every one you will use.
  4. Rung 4 · Citations, quotations and links · Very low trust. How to check: Assume invented until you open the source and find the words, and the point it is cited for, on the page. That it exists is not enough.
  5. Rung 5 · Recent events, or anything about you · Near zero trust. How to check: Provide the material yourself, or don't ask.
